good morning 7 am here in rushes capital moscow. and from wherever you're tuning into the program. welcome to our to international law weekly. i'm farrell is about with the top news stories for this hour and this week. gaza claims 3 children have been killed in israel's latest attack on the strip with the death toll rising to 24 . since the moment televi renewed, it strikes on friday. israel has denied accusations of the attack saying an unsuccessful launch of a heavy rocket by palestinian militants was behind the dots laid on saturday. palestinian islamic jihad militants fired rockets that television in response to deadly attacks on gaza. journalist hand cool diary reports from a local hospital, as the israeli aggression on the gaza strip continues, and the 2nd day of the aggression comes to an end. we are now in elk for hospital one of the main hospitals in the gaza strip that i received at least 140

palestinian citizens. that has been insured by israeli airstrikes since yesterday, according to the minister of her health, at least 15 palestinians have been killed. as so fired there is nothing can clear. we are still hearing explosions in the background and their fire exchange in and out of gaza strip. and as you see, the ambulances are everywhere, ready, and steady to receive any injuries from the gaza strip. today at least 5 palestinian residential houses have been targeted. hundreds and i have been left homeless. tens of palestinians have been injured and this will continue. this is not the 1st escalation or aggression that gaza strip had been a witness seeing. we witnessed a huge escalation,

200820122014. and last year it was a deadly 11 day of aggression palestinians in the gaza strip are, are waiting, are anxious. a waiting for us. he is fire, but at the same time there are please 5 calloused indians and the i c units. and we see families waiting to hear anything about their beloved ones that are either injured in the i c unit or injured and receiving treatment in else you for hospital. we can also see in the sky ex, tow gens fi year and we still don't know what that to note is hiding for us. but it's very obvious that there is no choose or any ceasefire agreement. and all the news that there is egyptian delegations and you and interfering for a cease fire have been not officially confirmed. unfortunately,

palestinians are waiting and no one is safe. everyone is looking forward for a shelter. this was in the study from gaza, palestine earlier on saturday. the israeli army struck a residential building and gaza. ah, ah, ah, televi says it's prepared to conduct the military operation for at least a week with exchanges of fire continuing for the 2nd day in a row. israel claims garza has fired more than 449 rockets. tor did overnight and throughout saturday, one of the rockets reportedly hit a residential building in the israeli city of ask a loan ah

oh. most of the rockets fired at israel were intercepted by the iron don't system. this footage reportedly shows the interception of the missiles from gaza over the israeli city of their own local residence, shared with us their views on the ongoing conflict. with the iron dome system probably hit a rocket that fell on the roof of my neighbour. we had a big boom. we've got used to this situation. it's not good, but unfortunately we are used it. m. name is alana to mother. luckily, the family to parents and 2 children were acting according to the safety instructions and went into the shelter. and this is what kept them safe, but generally we are ready for all kinds of events. we estimate that the heavy fire of rockets will continue in the coming hours. and even in the coming days, we're getting ready to evacuate residence to morrow. and during the week, this will seem as in past operations. darrow is a city that has got used to the terror of rockets for over 20 years in the hall.

the conflict clair when idea of forces killed a commander of the islamic jihad movement hitting a residential building in the process. 10 people died in the strike including a 5 year old girl which has sparked protests and an armed response from local militants. as the world watches the worsening of the already dire humanitarian situation and gaza electricity and much of the area has already been cut due to fuel deliveries to the strip being stopped by television, we discussed the crises and the international response to it with human and labor rights lawyer dan coverlet likely is frankly, according to the un on livable in gaza. and now without any electricity, which is also going to affect, of course, the ability to pump water people will be on the verge of it unsustainable. and that's of course, the whole plan that israel had been saying for years that this is

a slow moving gen. israel has been blockading gaza, preventing guys from getting like staving medicines, getting food again from getting the water. israel wants to either forcibly remove or destroy the population in god that the definition of a genocide, i don't see the international community as for filling duties to prevent war crimes and human rights abuses against people in the occupied territories. and i want to add, you know, the us recently that, well, we think is your eyes the rights to defend itself. well, what about the palace? right? the defend them. so the c u. s. support agenda. let's face the us, be israel is client state is in the middle east and it's support. it's designed on taking over all the occupied there.

it's been 3 days since pelosi left taiwan potential between china and the us remain high in the wake of us. how speakers controversial visit beijing launch military drills over the island, making good on its promise that type a will pay a price for hosting the u. s. official. staging military exercises around the island included ballistic missile launches, which landed in the waters of taiwan, northern southern eastern. those china is armed forces also conducted drills in 6 zone surrounding the violent asians military said the exercises were focused on training for the joint blockade fee. target assault air face control hyper condemns aging as the evil neighbor next door, also accusing china of destroying the taiwan straits with military drills. washington also criticized the drills describing them as irresponsible and provocative in retaliation for the house. speakers trip aging has severed

cooperation or the washington and several key areas. china's foreign ministry stated cooperation is now frozen in areas such as dialogue between defense departments, military maritime consultation cooperation on illegal migration and crime, as well as climate change. chinese military officials have also allegedly stop responding to calls from their pentagon counterparts. let's take a look back at how the situations been developing. how speaker nancy pelosi is planned to visit taiwan potential stop in taiwan, visiting taiwan using taiwan wires assisting that may well go to taiwan. it would be a serious violation of the one china principle and a grave infringement on china's sovereignty and territorial integrity. those simply with

seems to me, your main goal was to stir up. thanks for bringing more problems to the world. americans with nothing treacherously on taiwan with

taiwan, was also affected by policies trip. as china be islands, biggest trading partner, band imports for more than 30 taiwanese companies are cheese, nicky era and takes a closer look at the consequences of policies visit to taipei. china is already taking action as it warned it would. the phone aren't from pillows these. well, when trip has been swift and brutal to quite rightly, people are asking the question, we have seen the chinese authorities take multiple economic actions against individual chinese companies, an entire sectors of the economy. here, taiwan has already paid a cost field visit and is likely to continue to do so with coming days and weeks. what concrete tangible benefits can you promised? how on offset the cost of your trip? a tricky question. slickly deflected because she knew exactly what she'd done and

americans have made a bit of a habit of doing things like this, throwing others under the bus in service of their own goals. and the consequences over this brief trip are already taking hold. global markets aust spooked and the largest military drills around tie one in decades. ah but it might prove that the economic measures imposed by china will hurt tie one. the most fading has already banned imports from $35.00 taiwanese exporters plus restrictions on some fruit and fish. and one might not sound like a big deal. the ban on son to which the island was already short of plus if a key component of ty, one's greatest export semiconductors, which have not be mentioned. well not yet. if beijing does decide to go further,

people on the streets will be sure to feel it. china is tie, one's largest trading partner after all. so is it any wonder that there were people in taiwan who weren't engaging in the pillow? see, love fest money on the bill. what do you mean below? see what the hell i doing here right now? come all the way here to sport the taiwanese people support yourself. you want to support us to fight against the peoples with aeration. army americans always ask us to let more time when these people joined the army. whenever you come to to wine or want us to buy more weapons from you and fight against that people's liberation army in urban terrain, it's none of your business. i hate to support a wine or to provoke a war. what the hell are you doing here below see the relationship between the mainland and taiwan is already very tense. you're supporting to wind, but we don't need your support. you are literally pouring coil on the flames. you only make things worse. so who did this flying with its 1st was simply pelosi. he wanted to be pictured in a chair in tie pay before he attention. he gets kicked out this november,

or was it the war hawks in washington hooping ratcheting up the anti china rhetoric for months? now, oh, and of course the military industrial complex, the very heart of american foreign policy american officials have been quietly pressing their tie when these counterparts to buy weapons suitable for a symmetric warfare. a conflict in which is smaller, military uses mobile systems to conduct lethal strikes on a much bigger force. we could say what it has here is a win win. not only does it make money on selling weapons, but it also has a leaf on us weapons at the ready in the region. should it decide it needs them? as we know, tie one wouldn't be the 1st to pay the price for the policy. the dc warhawks, people in afghanistan all starving because the government can't access its own money, which is frozen by the us. those tens of thousands of venezuelans have paid the ultimate price of the u. s. as punitive sanctions. and then there's the ukranian

people who critic say a dying needlessly trust in american porn. and the u. s. proxy war with russia. but apparently in the long run, it's always a price worth paying. we have heard half a 1000000 children of god. i mean, that's more children than died when i went in here a shame and you know, if the price worth it, i said this is a very hard choice, but the price we think the price is worth it. so now he is taiwan, and pelosi won't even give it a 2nd thought she got her photo after all, professor of politics. joseph mahoney believes a bite in administration is openly meddling in china's affairs and below the visit to taiwan. could be the tipping point. for many are concerned, the fine has been hollowing out to one china policy and the principle of strategic ambiguity. his characterization of china as a strategic rival is pressing nato to consider china as an adversary. his block

building in asia with office including perforated nuclear submarines draw strayer, his meddling in china's affairs and now she's young to bed. hong kong and taiwan, his admission of us troops and tie his efforts to draw china's immediate neighbors and to the so called endo pacific quad, his encouraging japan to increase military capabilities and commitment to upgrade a controversial missile system itself for you. all while asserting us will come to tie, wants defense, and at times, equivocating on the one china policy. all of these collectively represent several red lines, cross from aging perspective. and now what close it coming this might be the tipping point. here's a quick look at how china and taiwan military resources tally up. ty pays total. active forces are just a fraction of what beijing commands, the number of chinese aircraft, navy, ships, and tanks also vastly exceeds tie ones,

military forces. the united states has been supplying the island with arms for years, including talks of a nuclear program in taiwan to deter a potential chinese attack, as well as speculation on the possibility of a direct military confrontation between the u. s. and china, in the region of strategic importance for washington. over the years, the u. s continued to increase its unofficial military presence in taiwan while also sending hundreds of millions of dollars and military aid to taipei. despite raising tensions with beijing while also officially sticking to its one china policy, we discussed the controversial us actions with scott ritter, a former us marine corps intelligence officer, tad ca independent arms control and conflict consultants says that policies visit was an ill time stage provocation. the idea of having a one china policy and then leaving it good and well alone. maintaining the

strategic ambiguity has been the backbone of us policy for decades and it's largely works. and taiwan is prospered under that policy. so the idea that nancy pelosi somehow needs to go in and rectify a situation that's been working just fine, is bizarre. this was an unnecessary and thoughtless provocation based on the actions of someone who won't be the speaker of the house much longer at age. 82, even if the democrats managed to hold on to the house of representatives in november, elections, if this is about or putting your footprints in the sands of history, it's remarkably, the old time. i think it's extraordinary that we're seeing a distance thing of the us administration of the executive function in the u. s. to, with the legislative function is represented by speaker pelosi. i think it's, it's the same democratic party in the us controlling both bodies at the moment, although that may not last for much longer. but the fact that they're saying she's on her own, it's actually, and she can do as she likes, is a total abrogation of the executive functions,

responsibility to make an execute foreign policy there. handy over the foreign policy on china and taiwan to the speaker of the house of representatives. i expect biting to drop this like a rock. as soon as she's back in the, in the us, he's going to try and forget about this. as soon as people let him weather people do, let him forget about it is another question. at least one severely has been killed and 9 others wounded, including children and ukrainian shelling of a residential block in the city of our in the loop on through public. that's according to local authority. this amateur footage reportedly from the scene shows part of the building in flames with a show impact crater, apparently seen on the ground nearby. official say the fire was parked by a direct hit on the civilian buildings. windows have been blown out and some nearby homes have also been damaged in the neighboring don. yes, republic official say at least one civilian was killed and 7 others wounded in

saturday, shelling of the city by ukrainian forces. this unverified amateur footage appears to show the aftermath of the attacks. saturday shelling allegedly targeted apartment blocks in the center of don. yes, a local school was also hit with no casualties reported though the building itself was heavily damaged. this comes of course, after a previous round of shelling on friday, killed 5 civilians and wounded $31.00 more. according to don. yes, the authorities spoke to some of the victims in the hospital, physical location. there was a whistle and an explosion work and then everything was on fire. i turned my head and saw that my wife was thrown into the passenger compartment. i want to find her myself, but i had no strength left. my life died. i have shopped on my leg and broken thoughts, my 2nd like and swollen and also i have burned my daughter and i arrived at the hospital at 1st it was quiet. then there was an impact. we heard an explosion,

i grabbed the child and said done. and then came a 2nd blast and then went to the trauma department. the nurse there said you're bleeding. the doctor's examined me and the child i had sharpness in me. and the child also had 3 fragments, a big one and 2 smaller ones. meanwhile, done, yes sir. public forces supported by the armed forces of the russian federation continue to move westward toward the borders of the republic. earlier this week, don, yes, the republic forces claim to have taken control of most of the town of pesky a key point used by ukrainian troops as a firing position to target the don. yes, region. the militia continue to move towards the car with battles in the areas so ongoing. our t correspondent, roman, close the rev. reports from the ground. we are heading to the front line positions just on the outskirts of genetic along with the nest republics, 100 and 85th infantry battalion. now ukrainian positions are

a mere 500 meters away from where we're heading. we have to walk very carefully and constantly look down because this area also came under shoveling many, many times, and ukraine had spread those butterfly mines here. once you step on one of those, you can tear your leg off. now this is one of the temporary positions of the 100 and 85th. a battalion of ids and nets, republic, ukrainian army positions are very close. this is a place where they arrest, you can see have a bunk beds right over there. and the guys are just waiting to store me for any positions right now. have a chance to speak with one of the fighters, foremost, for faith. our battalion consists entirely of reservists. these are ordinary civilians who previously worked as teachers, doctors, salesman, miners, drivers. we just want peace to finally come. so our wives will become and children will stop dying. working with all the fight has become more intense. the ukrainians

have started fighting back more. but we've made a major push lately. half of the ukrainians aren't actively fighting. there are many people who were mobilized, who were forced to come here, and the laser gazing at some of the ukranian surrender, but most of them are afraid that they can't go back close behind them won't let them out alive like this. and if they move in our direction, they will be shot in the back room. alyssa, now we've reached the frontline positions of the 100 litter, 5th, infantry division, ukrainian army positions used to be had that a couple of 100 meters away from here. but now this battalion have already moved forward, so ukraine's positions are now at least 500 meters away. we are in the trenches at the moment and there are constant reminders to be careful. it says caution. the sniper is working for signature. it's been heated here in recent days. there's artillery in tanks firing. there are counter attacks from the ukranian site. there

is massive fire from our site us that we are moving towards africa taking up positions. we're in a positive mood feeling good. now we asked the military if we could, to raise the drone here to take a look at the cranium. physicians, they said, yes, we could do that, but our drone could be stolen by ukraine, so they offered their own renovation. what they're doing right now is attaching a line from a fishing rod to the drone. and they said in case there's some kind of electronic warfare or ukraine will intercept our drone, will be able to really back. ah, we are now leaving the front line positions of the 185th battalion of the nest

peoples army. they've made quite a lot of progress in the last few days. moved deeper into the territory currently controlled by ukrainian nationalists. it is hope that this progress, their advance will continue and ukrainian nationalists will find that it stopped shilling the people of the next room on cost river t known as the people's republic ah, the bricks group of emerging economies is becoming increasingly appealing to more potential member states with the president of algeria africa's largest gas ex border, same the countries ready to join the block. and as alternative alliances, game size and traction western lead blocks appear to be losing their global dominance. with u. s. officials now sending top officials to the african continent . ha, i'm the heels of the russian foreign ministers visit r t 's. maria phenomena explains a country one, seeing as too big to fail is now too often seen as failing. a number of global

ships have taken place over the last few months that have led to people asking the question all the days of us global domination over america's political territory is dwindling. there are signs that harold a big event, which is the total defeat of the us. more and more countries are looking to join global unions that washington is not part of like the shot high corporation organization and bricks. the latter are currently united china, russia, brazil, india, and south africa. already accounting for more than 3000000000 people. and a combined g d, p, or more than $24.00 trillion dollars with 5 new members expected next year, including all the reach, saudi arabia and l. g. area, this powerful unit of nations has all the potential to easily challenge organizations like the g 7 and other challenge to the u. s. global role is that other countries are increasingly traded in local currencies to bypass the dollar.

ricks is even planning to create its own reserve currency. even live in america, considered by the u. s. for so long as its own backyard, a place it would forever have control over seems to be pushing back speaking with a unified voice against the isolation and sanctioning of their neighbors. and number of countries there refused to go to the summit of the americas because cuba and venezuela were not invited. and the u. s. itself has admitted they are losing hearts and minds. there. the russian media conglomeration russia today in spanish as well as the sputnik mundo, used to have 7000000 followers and rti spanish now over 18000000. their ability to put out this information. and just so one environment that is full of untruths is, is very prevalent in the region. then the res, africa,

the scenes of russia's foreign minister recently been welcomed by african nation, is angered and cared. washington, the us secretary of state decided to announce his own tour with media headlines clearly showing the reason he might be surprised to find that the pass colonialism and the current colonial policy of taking without giving have turned many nations there against the west. they sense this is a historic moment to build new alliances. the overwhelming majority of the world's countries do not want to live as if the colonial times of back. the vast majority of states want to be independent. want to rely on their own traditions to rely on their own history in their old friends when it comes to asia. it's not just big guns like china, india who are neutral and not bowing to as demands. people are growing tired of america is with us or against us narrative,

especially when they are being asked to turn away from russia, the global energy and natural resources player, and china, the 2nd largest economy and 2nd largest military. so much so that even traditional us allies are asking not to be put in the middle. it is natural for some countries to be closer to one side or to the other. but most countries would prefer not to be forced to choose between the us and china. as europe's experience shows, things can go wrong and conflict can break out in war in asia. as a scenario, we cannot rule out. therefore, asian countries must continue to strive to deepen cooperation between ourselves. take all this combined and worrying image for america, merges it's all tactical, sanctioning, and pressure. it's language of ultimatums as part of a divide and rule strategy have ironically led to uniting the u. s. his opponents against it, the united states has been intensifying neo colonial exploitation for the last 50

years, at least on the united states, is trying to put a ban near of respectability on what is essentially a campaign to intensify. the occupation of historically colonized places like africa, the people and those poor countries have gotten the worst of the global economic deal. and now they're fighting back. they're fighting for economic independence, russia, china, iran. the countries are aligned with their building, a new world world where resources are shared more equitably. that's the route for this hour and the weekly top stories for around the glove. next tune into our documentary sanctions the boomerang effect, to find out who the sanctions actually her only on our team. thanks for tuning in and the.
